GTI Small Bowie Full Guard 1095 Blade Blank GTIBL0691095

The GTI Small Bowie Full Guard 1095 Blade Blank is built for makers who take pride in crafting a blade that’s not just functional but ready for hard use in the real world. Whether you're a seasoned bladesmith or just starting your first knife build, this blank offers a solid foundation backed by a time-tested steel and a classic profile that’s as tough as it is versatile.

At the heart of this blade is 1095 high carbon steel—a favorite among custom knife makers for its excellent edge retention, hardness, and ease of sharpening. It holds up under heavy use, takes a razor-sharp edge, and delivers the kind of durability that serious users demand. The 4.5-inch bowie blade profile adds cutting power and piercing strength, with a strong tip and ample belly for slicing, carving, and utility work.

This blank features full tang construction, giving you maximum strength and a secure handle attachment once you finish your custom build. The full guard design offers an added measure of hand protection and gives the knife a bold, classic look. At 9.6 inches overall, this is a compact yet capable bowie that balances ease of carry with enough blade to handle serious tasks—whether in the field, on the trail, or around the shop.

This blade blank is ready to be transformed into a knife that reflects your own style and purpose. Choose your own handle scales, customize the grind or edge, and make it your own from the ground up. It’s a hands-on way to build a blade you can trust, use, and be proud of.

Ideal for hunting, bushcraft, or custom gift builds, the GTI Small Bowie Full Guard Blade Blank is a solid pick for anyone who wants to put their craftsmanship into something that's meant to be used—not just displayed.
